I've been working on a new surf forecast site for Australia over the last year. It's been a real slog, but it's starting to finally get some traction. Essentially it's a modern, simple interface for reading swell forecast data. It uses the same raw data as other forecast sites, but the overall user experience is very very different.

In addition to a super simple interface, 4 day data sets are freely available for anyone to access, build apps with, and integrate with other websites, via an API (http://swellcast.com.au/api). So one could essentially present the data to fit with another brand or website layout. This process would take some web developer input and development, but the results could be vastly better than simply using a third party branded 'widget' on the site. Obviously geared toward commercial application.

Right now I'm in the process of getting out and about and telling people about the site. The reaction has been pretty good, and I've got a road map for more locations and features over the coming months.

Would love to hear any feedback you have. Hope you find it to be a useful resource.
